Final answer:
To improve name resolution between two companies, configure a conditional forwarder in CorpDC for PartnerNet.org to PartnerServer, adjust CorpNet's zone transfer settings to only allow PartnerServer, and create a stub zone on PartnerServer for CorpNet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Configuring DNS for Inter-company Collaboration
To facilitate efficient name resolution between your company and the partner company, you'll be setting up DNS infrastructure to improve networking communication. Let's break down the steps you'll need to follow for each task:
Configure a Conditional Forwarder
On CorpDC, go to the DNS Manager.
Create a new conditional forwarder for PartnerNet.org.
Specify PartnerServer as the target DNS server for this domain.
Ensure the option to store the conditional forwarder in Active Directory is selected, and set it to replicate to all DNS servers in the domain.
Configure the CorpNet Zone Transfer
Modify the properties of the CorpNet DNS zone to allow zone transfers, but restrict them to only occur with PartnerServer.
Create a Forward Lookup Stub Zone
On PartnerServer, create a new forward lookup stub zone named CorpNet.
During the creation process, specify the IP address of CorpDC as the master server from which to copy zone data.
After completing these tasks, both companies should experience improved name resolution for each other's domain, enhancing collaboration and communication between the two entities.
